# 1. IAW Background and Definition

In July 2021, the Ethereum Foundation first proposed the concept of "[Infinite Garden](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny83XarlecE)"\[[1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny83XarlecE)], which envisions Ethereum as an ever-evolving garden that is open to and built by the community.

In 2022, 0xPARC first proposed the concept of AW games (Autonomous Worlds) in their blog post "[0xPARC: Autonomous Worlds (Part 1)](https://0xparc.org/blog/autonomous-worlds)"\[[2](https://0xparc.org/blog/autonomous-worlds)]. This type of game world runs entirely on the blockchain, and 0xPARC defines its characteristics and goals.&#x20;

At the same time, the Web3 community also highlighted a new paradigm for GameFi called Fully OnChain Games, in which the game's state, data, and logic all occur completely on the chain.&#x20;

In 2023, [Zenfox Labs](https://twitter.com/Zenfoxlabs) comprehensively summarized the design principles and differences of these three concepts in their research paper "[The Intertwining of Blockchain and AI, Shaping the Future of Virtual Worlds](https://zenfox.substack.com/p/autonomous-worlds-1ai)".\[[3](https://zenfox.substack.com/p/autonomous-worlds-1ai)]

Of the different concepts, AW (Autonomous Worlds) is the most general. To some extent, it encompasses the fundamental concepts of full-chain games and infinite games, and can also be extended to a wider digital space. As a result, this paper proposes a new concept, **"Infinity Autonomous Worlds (IAW)"** to represent the combination of these three ideas, which is derived from but not limited to Autonomous Worlds. It primarily consists of: **Infinity, Autonomy, and Composability.**

Based on the progress in the field of IAW, this paper proposes the **Building Pipeline** and **Technical Stack** of IAW world.
